Do votes really count?
Or do we just bake in the Sun for the leaders and the powerfuls of the nation just sit somewhere and decide who "must" rule?

Nigeria follows a simple political philosophy:

[size=15pt]Its not the person who vote that matters, rather its the person who count the vote[/size]

So this means the votes dont counts, cos i have heard so many cases where pple wont even show up and yet they count will be so much, or a case where the vote of one candidate will be more than even the population of the city.

undecided undecided its obvious your not in nigeria or havent been for years

what happens in nigeria in 90 % of voting exrecise is strictly selection not election.

i know that theres always rigging during elections in nigeria but can rigging really make the difference between who wins and who loses the election?

@manmustwac

isnt ur question rhetoric?

I believe that question is somewhat valid. Over and over we claim election results on rigging but going by the judgement displayed by many on here, I question that assertion myself. How can rigging be to blame when we seem to have a large group out here who stand up to defend the very people that year after year have stolen from these very people.
